4 CHANCE FOR CAPITALISTS.

The greatest drawback which the miner
meets with in this region is lack of CAPT.
tai. Those who have had capital and de-
veloped their mines, have, in nearly all
cases, reaped large profit on the money
| invested, and still there are hundreds of
claims lying idle and not developed, or
only partially developed, which if the
owners possessed the means would be
made to yield as largely as the Providence,
the Idaho, and other famous mines in this
county. Here is the

TRAIN ROBBERIFS,

the kind, shows the necessity of employing

too weak to preserve order, or where the un.
settled state of the country affords opportunity
for tho operations Of gangs of robbers The
manner Of most Of these train robberies points
TO tho guarding Of tho engines as essential to
the protection of the trains. In majority of
instances the first step Of the thieves has been
to control the engineer. In one or two cases
they have boarded trains at stations and waited
until the cars had been pulled out before be-
ginning work. But as a rule they seek to get
possession of the engine, and then they can
generally do what they please with the train
II may become necessary TO send armed mes
sengers In the cabs. as formerly on the tops
Of Western stage-coacbes. Engineers like
stage-drivers, would probably decline to under
take fighting thieves in addition to their al

to do this. The conductors and bralemen also

LEGITIMATE COMPETITION DEFINED.


The full report of the Interstate Commits
more favorable impression of it, as a careful
legal exposition of the act than the summary
tclegraphed or the Commissions own summary
at tho close of the document Indeed, the
language of that summary does not appear to
be sustained by the carefully guarded words of
the opinion in several respects Thus tho
Commissions summary says (6) that 1t is not
sufficient justification for greater charge the
shorter distance " that the traffic which is sub
jected TO such greater charge is way or local
traffic, and that given the more favorable rates
is not But in tho opinion it is carefully
shown that the Senate phraseOlogy and con
struction of the act prevailed in Congress :;
that its distinct purpose was not to prevent or
destroy healthy competitions that fair and
reasonable competition is public benefit. I"
and competition is to be regulated, not abol
ishedr and the principle is laid down that
"when competition leads to the transportation
of property below cost fairly computed. it
ceases TO be legitimate"
This language would clearly imply what the
ablest railroad managers have urged, that. in
language quoted by the Commission, "a rail.
road ought not to neglect any traffic of a kind
that will increase its receipts more than its
expenses that added traffic which can be
gained with no increase of expense except that
Of handling and hauage, if taken at any rate
which yields more than that increase of re-
ceipts, is legitimate. 1t is true that portions
Of this opinion seem to argue at length against
this very principle, but the document taken as
whole certainly tends to FIX the limit above
stated as the true line Of demarcation between
competition which is legitimate, and which
tho act was not intended to destroy, and other
competition which is by the act forbidden.
Nearly all long distance rates offered by
railroads in years past arc strictly within this
distinction, and by the principles OF the opinion
would be permitted, as not being "un6or sub
stantially similar circumstances and con-
ditions" with local freight over the same lines.
One is puzzled to see how the Commission, after
making out so clear a case for exemption Of
traffic taken in legitimate competition with
water rcutcs or foreign railways can reconcile
its apparently broad declaration that competi-
tion between interstate railroads themselves
though restricted within the same limits. l.
nevertheless prohibited IL lower rates are given
for the longer distances
The principle that competition with water
routes excuses lower rates for longer distances
is one which win be applied very widely by
transporters. Every road having East and
West traalc completes with the lakes and canals
or with tho ocean and river route, and all
transcontnental roads compete with tho ocean
route and the Canadian lines, while nearly ali
North and South roads compete with the rivers
